title: [Survival of patients with anaplastic cerebral gliomas treated with a combination of surgery and radiotherapy].
abstract: The survival time was analysed in 42 patients with anaplastic cerebral gliomas after treatment by surgery and radiotherapy. The obtained therapeutic results were comparable with those reported in world literature: the 6-month survival rate was 60%, the 1-year survival rate was 31%, and at 2 years 19% of the patients were alive. A group of patients poorly tolerating radiotherapy was isolated, these patients required administration of brain-oedema-reducing drugs. The survival time after treatment in patients with well-controlled oedema was similar to that obtained in the whole group.
